Wine making:
The Bortolin Angelo Spumanti produces its Valdobbiadene DOCG carefully respecting the oldest wine-making wisdom inherited in the family as well as the regulations of sparkling wine production method of Prosecco Superiore di Conegliano-Valdobbiadene.
Designed by Antonio Carpenè at the end of the XIX century, as a new version of an ancient tradition of the territory, the method is characterized by some distinctive elements, first of all the harvest of Glera grapes exclusively done by hand along the steep slopes of the banks of Valdobbiadene.
This is followed by the pressing of the grapes in wine-making centers, an operation carried out using sophisticated machinery that can softly press the grapes to extract only the free-run juice, from the very inside of the grapes.
From 100 kg of grapes a maximum 70 liters of wine can b. obtained. The decanting phase follows, in which the turbid must is left to stand at a cold temperature (5-10 ° C) in steel tanks for about 10-12 hours. Then the wine making process takes place from the clear part of the must, initiated thanks to the natural enzymes which, added to the wort, cause the alcoholic fermentation that lasts about 15-20 days in stainless steel tanks at a constant temperature of 18-20 degrees. This wine is obtained from the base wine.
After a careful tasting of different wines, categorized to this point by origin, time of harvest and organoleptic characteristics, cuvée assemblage and froth capture take place.
This is carried out in compliance with the Italian method (or Charmat) but now, given the considerable experience and sophistication of the result, it is recognized as the "Conegliano-Valdobbiadene" method that involves the use of pressure-tight autoclaves in which the wine is combined with sugar and yeast in order to preserve the original aromas of the grapes and to get that unmistakable fruity and floral scent that distinguishes the Valdobbiadene DOCG from any other sparkling wines.
At the end of sparkling wine bottling and after about 30-40 days, the wine is ready to be placed on the market for fast consumption.
The Bortolin Angelo Spumanti wine cellar inaugurated in 2013 the new supply and winemaking center not far from the historical site of the winery, made with the latest technology and respecting the unspoiled beauty of the landscape, example of perfect balance between innovation and sustainability as well as the constant pursuit of the highest quality.
